Each owner, operator, or person
responsible for agricultural operations shall prevent pollution caused by sheet
and rill erosion. Agricultural operations found by the director or the
director's designee to have failed to implement best management practices
(BMPs) to prevent sheet and rill erosion and have caused pollution to waters of
the state shall apply and maintain conservation practices such that the
predicted soil loss from sheet and rill erosion under current and planned
cropping and management conditions, as predicted in the "Field Office Technical
Guide," when combined with the predicted soil loss from wind erosion (if
applicable) as determined under rule 901:13-1-09 of the Administrative Code, is equal to or less than permissible soil loss values (soil loss tolerance "T" factors) related to the specific soil series as
specified in the "Field Office Technical Guide."
